Matching card and gift box

Matching card and gift box. Cast your eye on pages 28-31 of the new September-December 2025 Mini catalogue and check out the North Pole Delivery Suite collection. You can see the first card I made with it HERE.

This Suite was on my wish list. Over a period of time, I had earned sale incentive rewards from my upline and was due to redeem this against Stampin’ Up! products and this is what I chose.

I chose Cloud Cover and Secret Sea as my colour palette. To ground the postal van and squirrel, I used the retired Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics which have 3 bottles of colour – Real Red, White and Black and I used the Black one. The Perennial Postage Dies came into play again.

How to make the card

Card front

1. Cloud Cover card base : 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” (14.5 cm x 21 cm) folded in half.
2. Stamp the compass with Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot on all four edges.
3. Die cut Secret Sea card stock with Perennial Postage 2nd largest die. Adhere at an angle to card front.
4. Select pre-cut images from the North Pole Delivery 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper pack and adhere as shown.
5. Stamp “thank you” from Light & Wonder stamp set in Versamark ink in bottom right corner and white emboss.
6. Optional : ground van and squirrel with Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics if you have it, or use a marker pen.

Inside card

1. Cut a Basic White mat layer for inside card 5 ½” x 3 ⅞” (14 cm x 9.8 cm).
2. Cloud Cover – cut a strip ¾” x 5 ½” and stamp compass with Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot.
3. Adhere to the left of Basic White layer and then adhere Basic White layer to the inside of card base.
4. Stamp mail box in bottom right corner. Colour with Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, Lemon Lolly, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends.

How to make the box

1. Use the Jolly Delivery envelop die to cut an envelop box with Cloud Cover card stock.
2. Select the circle closure die on the opposite corner from slot, use the three points on die to align with edge of envelop and die cut the closure mechanism.
3. Stamp compass image over the closure as pictured on left with Secret Sea ink.
4. Fold on first score line of envelop. Ensure you are stamping the group of envelops with Secret Sea ink in the right orientation. Insert a piece of scrap to protect the inside of envelop so that only the flap is stamped.
5. Choose a pre-cut stamp from the DSP pre-cut sheets.
6. Stamp greeting “special delivery” and “from me to you” to finish.

I can’t wait to use it with a Christmas theme closer to the festive season. There is a star and a heart closure as well, so you can use it for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. The star could be used at Christmas or for a graduation or special occasion.
